I'd be curious to know if it was an original idea or if they took inspiration from the German "Mistal" planes of WWII.

I don't know. Define the problem as needing to be able to move Shuttles around. Seems like a logical solution to me. Could have built a huge dirigible, I suppose.

In the slide show, in addition to the awe in the faces of the people on the ground, can you also detect an ample helping of pride?

As impressive as the flight over DC was today. It was nothing new for the SCA-747. Check out this video
The SCA-747 was used to launch the Enerprise for its landing tests. The only time the Enterprise flew. After that the SCA-747 was used to ferry Space Shuttles from landing sites back to the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center.

They've been piggybacking aircraft for a long time for one reason or another.
This is my favorite shot of Discovery's last voyage, though, take at Joint Base Andrews: |

It's better than towing it. That would be a sight to see.

Point? Is that something that they should be ashamed of or what?

It was meant in a positive way.
